57028Who are the best?
57028Who are the men with great imagination?...
57028Who does not remember with holy tenderness his first kiss?..."
57028Who knows what raptures great music might bring to a country child?
57028Who wants to know what it will take to paper a room?
57028Who was Arnold Forster?
57028Why can not our bairns have the best?
57028Why do n''t they shoot me?"
57028Why had he no boots?
57028Why is the average medallist at a university a man of tenth- rate ideas?"
57028Why make all this pretence when everyone knows that it is"In the Cabinet''s name"?
57028Why should I be dignified before my bairns?
57028Why should n''t the bairns experience this thrill?
57028Why should one lot be heroes and the other lot be cursed as traitors?
57028Why specify that Nature Study will be taught?
57028Why tell them all the stale lies about democracy, the freedom of the individual, the justice of our laws?
57028Why waste time telling poor bairns to be temperate?
57028Why?
57028Why?
57028Will Nietzsche''s type of Master man with his physical energy and warlikeness prove to be the best?
57028Will a joiner keep an apprentice who makes a slovenly job?"
57028Will they scorn me if I slide with them?
57028Wo n''t you teach me, too?"
57028Would Willie run away and play at horses if I told him to do what he liked best?
57028Would they understand and appreciate?
57028Yet I want them to believe in Peter Pan, or is it that I want them to believe in the beauty of beautiful stories?
57028You gave him something?"
57028You wanted a theoretical chimney- sweep, did n''t you?"
57028You would never think of dancing a ragtime on this floor, would you?
57028but I always say"Who did you see?"
57028or Auckland?
57059''Are ye a''totaller?'' 57059 ''Aye, captain,''says he,''that''ll be dry wark?''
57059A brilliant idea, Jim, but who is to murder me?
57059A good point,I cried;"in other words you mean that no man liveth unto himself and no man dieth unto himself, eh?
57059A what?
57059Also,I suggested,"the inspector might be annoyed?"
57059And I suppose you gave me sweeties next day?
57059And attendance would n''t count?
57059And did Jan steal the plums?
57059And did you congratulate him, Jan?
57059And do you mean to tell me,he demanded,"that a boy will offer to learn his history and geography and arithmetic and grammar of his own free will?"
57059And if ye wanted to bend?
57059And is there a feed at a divorce?
57059And since the Solomon tradition has been in vogue for quite a long time, do you consider that it has produced educated citizens as yet?
57059And that''s your sole reason?
57059And the pigeons?
57059And what about it? 57059 And what if your mother says to you:''Jean, tell Janet to feed the hens?''"
57059And what will ye do wi''yer hands?
57059And why not?
57059And why?
57059And you never touched them?
57059And you replied?
57059And you''ll sit on him?
57059Any amendment, gentlemen?
57059Are the aristocracy really like what they are in this story?
57059Are they, Margaret?
57059Are we all agreed about this concert?
57059Are you sure?
57059As you say-- why not? 57059 Aw mind o''her,"nodded Andrew,"grass disease, was n''t it?"
57059Aye,said Jim scornfully,"and if a button cam off what wud haud up yer breeks?"
57059But have you never met anybody with a title?
57059But tell me, Jean, did you say anything to them?
57059But what can I do?
57059But what is his nonsense to lead to?
57059But why not?
57059But why should I?
57059But why?
57059But why?
57059But you agreed with him?
57059But you see my point?
57059But,a dominie might cry,"can you definitely blame elementary education for that?"
57059But,she cried in perplexity,"is n''t there much good in the world too?"
57059But... cud a machine no be invented?
57059Call that a nasty problem?
57059Can Aw tell lees?
57059Come, come,said Macdonald impatiently,"keep to the point: what educational value has the penny dreadful?"
57059D''ye mind the letters we used to write to one another?
57059D''ye mind what we said, Ellen? 57059 Dickie,"I said,"are you and I to be friends or not?"
57059Did Annie pull them down?
57059Did Aw do any wrong?
57059Did it answer them?
57059Did they all work?
57059Did ye miss the train?
57059Did you chuck him out forcibly?
57059Did you ever hear a good yarn without a point?
57059Did you find any pupil improving?
57059Did you''ear much abaht the war in Scotland?
57059Do n''t you see that this village is a little British Empire? 57059 Do we make ourselves clear, Mr. Tennant?
57059Do ye no mind? 57059 Do you blame Mr. Gordon for every drunk and every theft in the village?
57059Do you know what I am laughing at?
57059Do you mean to tell me he did n''t?
57059Do you mean to tell me that you wo n''t speak to Jan when you are sleeping together?
57059Do you?
57059Down''t you get the pypers in Scotland?
57059Eh? 57059 Eh?"
57059Elephant?
57059Ellen and Gladys and me''s never to speak to them again; are''n we no, Ellen?
57059Ellen,said Janet,"d''ye mind that day when you and me got up and walked oot o''the room?"
57059Funning? 57059 G''wa, lassie, what do you ken aboot breeks onywye?"
57059Gentlemen of the jury, your verdict?
57059Good morrow, sir,I called from the byre door,"you did n''t happen to see Mr. Thomson''s elephant as you came up the road?"
57059Had you any trouble with swearing?
57059Have ye seen the mannie that''s sellin''watches and things at the Cross? 57059 He took an awfu''reid face when he cam in this mornin'', did''n he, Jean?"
57059Here, mister,said the dog,"ai n''t I going to get one?"
57059Here,he cried,"did n''t you give him something?"
57059Honest?
57059How are the lies getting on, Jim?
57059How are you getting on?
57059How could she help it, Jan?
57059How could they settle it otherwise?
57059How did you guess?
57059How do you defend Janet Brown''s week of anagrams?
57059How do you know that they are wiser?
57059How do you like Jim Jackson?
57059How now, duke,I said breezily,"how much money have you left?"
57059How often did you examine her classes?
57059How''s the pond?
57059I do n''t understand,said Margaret dully;"what do you mean by having a message?"
57059I see,said the American thoughtfully,"you used your adult personality on the ground that it was the lesser of two evils?
57059I was speerin''if you and Maggie are to hae a bairn?
57059If an inspector stood at your desk chatting to you about the war, would you have a silent room?
57059In other words you forgot your principles and punished?
57059In that case,I said,"why not let them go on with the methods I gave them?
57059Is being happy the best thing in life?
57059Is it? 57059 Is there any seconder?"
57059Is''t true?
57059It''s true,said Ellen,"is n''t it Gladys?"
57059Janet Broon, div Aw speak to navvies?
57059Jean grat,said Gladys,"and so did Jan. What was ye greetin''aboot?"
57059Jim,I said suddenly,"will you be my best man?"
57059Look here,he began,"I wonder if you''ve any objection to my making a few alterations in the school live stock?"
57059Man, d''ye tell me that na? 57059 Margaret, do you love me?"
57059Margaret, why ca n''t people see that the Macdonald system is all wrong? 57059 Not one word?"
57059Now you''ve disposed of the cake and the lady,I said,"what is to become of me?"
57059Now, Ellen Smith, what is two and two?
57059Now, what in all the earth do you mean by that?
57059O, ye''re the manager, are ye? 57059 Perhaps they think I''d sneak the cash, eh?"
57059Please, sir, what is it?
57059Please, sir,he asked,"do you like that better than teaching?"
57059Pretty awkward, eh?
57059Rather because I am so handsome?
57059Rivals in a love affair?
57059Should I?
57059That you and Maggie are to be married?
57059Then in Heaven''s name what am I to do?
57059Then what curriculum would you have?
57059Then you would have each generation ignore all that had been said by men of previous generations?
57059There was another letter, Annie,I said,"do you remember it?"
57059They grin at your ignorance, eh?
57059Tips?
57059Want to introduce a cow?
57059Weel, Wullie,is his invariable greeting when his boy returns from school in the evening,"Weel, Wullie, and did ye get yer licks the day?"
57059Weel, what did she say that Aw was a navvy''s lass for then?
57059Well, and what''s the remedy?
57059Well, well, is n''t this rotten weather, what? 57059 Well,"I said cheerily,"what''s the news to- night?"
57059Well,he laughed,"it seems a dirty trick to drink a chap''s whiskey and slate his ideas at the same time, does n''t it?"
57059Well,he said with a grim smile,"what about those tools in the woodwork room?
57059Well?
57059Well?
57059What I want to know is this: How are we to determine what things are important to know? 57059 What aboot when ye''re gaitherin''tatties?"
57059What about Reading and Grammar?
57059What about his children coming after him?
57059What about it?
57059What about nationalisation of land and mines and railways?
57059What about this?
57059What can you expect from a section of the community that has never been educated? 57059 What d''ye think o''my suggestion, dominie, eh?"
57059What day was that?
57059What did he say about them?
57059What did he strap Jim Jackson for?
57059What did you do?
57059What did you think of the wedding, Jean?
57059What do ye ca''it when ye stop bein''married?
57059What do you mean by free day?
57059What do you mean?
57059What do you want this time?
57059What does it all mean?
57059What family did he say doos belonged to, Dick?
57059What for?
57059What has he been doing now?
57059What is a pacifist?
57059What is an ego?
57059What is education?
57059What is it?
57059What line did you take?
57059What school did you come from?
57059What sort of lesson will it be?
57059What sort of show was it, Annie?
57059What suggestion?
57059What was it?
57059What''ll you do about it?
57059What''s it all about, eh?
57059What''s the good of writing good English if you have n''t any ideas to write about?
57059What''s the matter?
57059What''s the row?
57059What''s the use of scribbling silly rot like that?
57059What''s wrong now?
57059What''s wrong?
57059What''s wrong?
57059What? 57059 When are ye thinkin''o''killin''that black swine o''yours, John?"
57059When did I say that?
57059When is it to be?
57059When you go home to- night just try to help your Jim with his algebra, will you? 57059 Where have you been, sir?"
57059Where is the village school?
57059Who proposed coming back, madam?
57059Why are you late?
57059Why are you so anxious that it should be Margaret?
57059Why did ye come back?
57059Why do awkward incidents occur to dignity?
57059Why do rabbits have white tails?
57059Why do you object to them?
57059Why no? 57059 Why no?"
57059Why not look in at the school some afternoon?
57059Why not, Jim?
57059Why not?
57059Why should they do a dirty trick like that? 57059 Why should you?"
57059Will Aw be yer--?
57059Would n''t he be better reading good literature? 57059 Would you abolish compulsory attendance?"
57059Would you say that they were Supermen?
57059Wud Jim Jackson be yer chief mourner?
57059Wud ye hae an oak coffin?
57059Wud''n it?
57059Yea, Mester?
57059Yes,I went on,"I want to know what the devil you meant by saying that I suffered from swelled head?"
57059You are thinking of the wedding feast I presume, my lad, what?
57059You criticise everything,she cried angrily,"do n''t you believe that there is any good in the world?"
57059You know that confounded committee of villagers that has charge of the Soup Kitchen Fund?
57059You obey the-- er-- the wisdom of the ages?
57059Your nerves are all to pot,he said;"what have you been doing with yourself?"
57059''Verra pleased to meet ye,''says Aw...''and hoo is yer missis and the bairns?''
57059''Who did this?''
57059''Who''s going to be whopped for this?''
57059''Will anyone oblige me by giving me a penny for half- a- crown?''
57059***"Look here,"said Macdonald to me to- night,"the School Board election is coming off soon; why do n''t you stand?"
570597 WHEN WERE YOU BORN?
57059After tea Gladys suddenly said:"Come on, we''ll play at schules, eh?"
57059Again why should geography be of more importance than anatomy?
57059Am I magnifying a merely personal matter?
57059Am I merely piqued because I was cut?
57059And Ellen?
57059And Gladys?
57059And Jean?...
57059And a society of workers running their own business would not have the gumption to see that the new methods would be a gain in the end?"
57059And, Jean, just look in and tell Jim Jackson not to buy a new dickie, will you?"
57059Any amendment, gentlemen?"
57059Are you going to send for it to Herbert Jenkins Ltd., 3, York Street, St. James''s, London, S.W.1?
57059Because Solomon said a thing is it eternally true?
57059But are they?
57059But do n''t you think that that was a mistake?
57059But have I fallen in love with anyone?
57059But tell me, Janet, how am I to know what sort of woman I am marrying?"
57059But what of the Stradivarius violins?
57059But why select pageants?
57059But you have got all the others; surely you do n''t grudge me Jim and the five girls?"
57059But, my dear, do you specially want to learn things like that?"
57059By the way how do you propose to get the money?''
57059By the way, what sort of a teacher is Miss Watson?"
57059Ca n''t you see that children are really decent kindly creatures with their own philosophy, that is, their own idea of the importance of things?
57059Can you direct me to the-- er-- village post- office?"
57059Could we no invent a digger that wud hoal the tatties and gaither them at the same time?"
57059Dickens for instance?"
57059Did ye keep the top storey o''the cake, Maggie?"
57059Did you kiss the bridesmaids?"
57059Do you allow conversation in your school?"
57059Do you believe in ghosts?"
57059Do you imagine that all the child processes in the world could save a child from an environment like that?"
57059Do you know that popular song_ You Made Me Love You_?
57059Do you mean to say that because a thing has a tradition behind it it must be believed for ever?
57059Do you think I should join it?"
57059Do you think it wrong for a teacher to compel a boy to attend to a lesson?"
57059Have you seen it?"
57059Have you?"
57059He has an interest in the plant, has n''t he?
57059He never sits down of an evening saying to himself:"Now, is Nancy my soul- mate?
57059How dare the teachers of Scotland ask that the school age be raised to fifteen when our city schools are barracks like that?
57059How many of you know the capital of Bolivia?
57059How the devil are bairns to gain any perspective in life if a fool like Macdonald spends half a day investigating nothing?
57059I called,"why have you given up looking at me?"
57059I continued,"what about the whole damned lot of registers and log books and Form 9 b''s?
57059I cried,"is Peter dead?"
57059I cried,"what did he write?"
57059I cried,"what''s become of Ellen and Gladys and Jean?"
57059I cried,"what''s the matter?"
57059I imagine Peter Mitchell looking over the dyke and crying:"Weel, dominie, and how is the experiment in eddication gettin''on?"
57059I just says to her says Aw:''Wha stailt the plums that mither brocht hame on Saturday nicht?''"
57059I said with a laugh,"a dozen of them, wo n''t we, Margaret?"
57059I said,"what do you think of it?"
57059I took two stots into the mart yesterday, and when they entered the ring a wag cried:"Are they weel up in the Greek, think ye, Frank?"
57059I wonder why there are two sides to this question of education?
57059I wrote her a letter....''My Dear Annie, do you think yourself bonny to- day?''
57059If I had come along in a Rolls- Royce car and given you a lift, would you have offered to reward me?
57059If children are the saints you make them out to be, how did your boys come to spoil good tools?"
57059If we make our schools decent places the poor profiteers will be in the soup, wo n''t they?
57059If you insist on perfect truthfulness why do you try to hide the truth about the sex of pigeons?
57059Is Money the Reward of Ability?
57059Is he so righteous that he shall punish a boy for swearing?
57059Is her sense of humour something like my own?
57059Is it so very wonderful?"
57059Is that quite clear?
57059Is this a mighty event?
57059Is what true?"
57059It''s a sort of habit of yours coming back, is n''t it?
57059It''s disgraceful, is n''t it, Jan?"
57059Laziness?"
57059Macdonald would say:"Quite so, but could you prove that it is a bad thing?"
57059May we not be absolutely incompatible in temperament?"
57059Mean to tell me your desk was open for two years?"
57059My dear Jean, when a girl hands back the engagement ring, do you mean to tell me she is funning?"
57059My sister Sally''s married to a pynter in Dundee, Peter Macnab; do you know''i m?"
57059One day when I wasna attendin''to the lesson ye wrote''Annie Miller is sacked''on a bit paper and gave it to me?"
57059So you think that reading penny dreadfuls is education?"
57059So, captain, Aw was just thinkin''that Aw wud like ye to carry up thae peppermints yersel... ye''re a married man, are ye no?''
57059Syne Aw sent a telegram to the Wanners vet, and when he cam he says to me, says he--""Any amendment, gentlemen?"
57059Tell me, what boy in this room answered best?"
57059The lock''s broken; how long has it been like that?"
57059The point is would it do me any good?
57059The question for the teacher is: What am I aiming at?
57059Then I wrote her again....''Do you ever tell lies?''
57059Then why in the name of thunder did I kiss her?
57059Was that religion or a swear?"
57059Was the freedom of behaviour and criticism you allowed them not the best antidote to home prejudices?"
57059We are governed from above; do you admit that?"
57059We discussed Votes for Women, Should Women Smoke?
57059We have conscripted life because the State required men to give their lives; why not conscript wealth in the same way?
57059Weel, why the hell''s the band''s no playin''?"
57059Well, how the deuce can I claim to help him to make it up when I ca n''t make up my own?
57059What about Janet?
57059What about all your private books?
57059What animal do we get milk from, Janet?"
57059What could I do on the Board anyway?...
57059What did you say, Jan?"
57059What do you mean, child?"
57059What do you say to my putting off the evil day till Friday?
57059What for?
57059What in all the world is the use of dominies and ministers and parents posing before children?
57059What is Macdonald''s sternness but a pose?
57059What is it?"
57059What is respect but a pose?
57059What war?"
57059What was the attitude o''that man''s party to Protection?
57059What was yer mother greetin''for, Maggie?"
57059What''s it all for?
57059What''s that, Gladys?"
57059What''s the use of knowing the parts of a sentence?
57059What''s the use of looking into the inside of everything?
57059What''s your objection to prizes?"
57059When Mester Chamberlain stood up in Glesga Toon Hall what did he say?"
57059When humanity abolishes the power to amass millions who is to have the priceless treasures?
57059Where is the town of--?"
57059Who is Macdonald that any human being should quail before his awful eye?
57059Who is there to save education?
57059Who is to decide who the geniuses are?
57059Who put them in?"
57059Who rule us?
57059Who''s coming?"
57059Why are these so- called leaders so poor in intellect?
57059Why are they so fearful of alienating the good opinion of the capitalist?
57059Why did ye no gie us that for an essay?"
57059Why does Bruce the linen manufacturer in the neighbouring town here scrap comparatively new machinery when better inventions come out?
57059Why in all the earth does civilisation allow such asses to warp the children?
57059Why in all the earth should you pretend that you do?"
57059Why should I force him to take an interest in them?
57059Why should n''t you talk about bairns if you want to?
57059Why should the teaching profession go begging favours from the State?
57059Why the devil are people so dirty in mind, Macdonald?
57059Why then does he not stick to the old methods?"
57059Why then would they argue that their system of teaching is better than mine?
57059Why, do you know what I found in it to- day?"
57059Why, in the name of heaven, ask for larger areas?
57059Why?
57059Why?
57059Will anyone try to save education?
57059Will my bairns shirk the difficulties of life?
57059Will they apply this method to Macdonald?
57059Would you do a thing like that, Dickie, after you had left the school?"
57059Yet... what is Janet doing at my window?
57059You do n''t mind my saying so, do you?"
57059You have heard of vivisection?
57059You know Dundee?
57059You''re like the man who cries to a Socialist orator:''Why do n''t you sell your watch and divide the proceeds among this crowd?''
57059but is n''t self- expression a great thing?"
57059cried Annie,"d''ye think we believe that?
57059eh?"
57059he asked,"geography or history?"
57059he cried,"how did you manage to find any worry in a village?"
57059he interrupted,"you want to confiscate?"
57059he said amiably when we parted,"but perhaps you feel that you''ve shaken off the dust from your feet down there?"
57059laughed Janet, looking up into my face,"did ye see yon?
57059said Jean,"have n''t we to sit awful quiet, Jan?"
57059said Peter Mitchell,"do ye mean to tell me that Aw wasna thinkin''o''the reward when I selt my powney last Saturday?"
57059she cried impatiently,"why ca n''t you be like other men?
57059very very viciously at this... you''ve heard them shout''No''when they sing''For he''s a jolly good fellow?''
